Description

dn: dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
add: administrativeRole
administrativeRole: accessControlSpecificArea

doesn't work because ldif reader lowercases the attr Id from the last line and compares it to the non-lowercased attrId from the add line.

After some discussion on IRC I think everyone agreed that:
the comparison between the attriDs should be case insensitive
the modification item generated should use the attrId from the add: line

The last rule is intended to make future handing of something like:

dn: dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
add: CN
cn: foo
Cn: Bar
cN: baZ
CN: ummm

all fit into one ModificationItem. Right now LdifReader is generating one modificationItem for each line with an attribute.
